That’s bullshit. The play was never designed to go anywhere near Bailey’s gap and Bailey really didn’t get moved that much until the back was already way past him and he was trying to spin out an start to pursue the play. Hitchens job on that play is to slide to the open hole between Houston and Berry and stop the back in the hole. He hesitated, which allowed the OL to get a small piece of him and then he didn’t attack the back in the hole. Instead he caught the back like a calf in a chute and rode him for a few yards.
